Thanks for sending this note Terri.

To contributors and students: learning bazaar, if you already know git,
shouldn't be that hard.  There are differences of course, in both commands and
model, but I think for most simple branches, it's easy to learn the few
commands you'll need.

Please also refer to these resources:

And of course you can ping us on #mailman on freenode.
